lyrics

Now love came to town.
Arrives in a car, he provides for himself.
His face is good looking, his hands as hard as rocks.
God can he be the one?
For hamburgers, french fries, and cans of coke?

He makes his demands.
You make a brave face, where the kids are involved.
He's quickly to anger, you never raise your voice.
He's just.
He just wants what's best.
Close your eyes and soon he'll be asleep.

Get into the car.
And into the snow, to the grocery store.
The crowd there is staring, at the cuts on your eyes and nose.
But they could never understand,
You've made a sacrifice to feed your children and,
The scars don't feel so bad when your belly's full.

My god my god my god
We're finally complete.
My god my god my god
We made a family

All about love
He'll teach us all about love

But they could never understand,
You've made a sacrifice to feed your fucking children and,
The scars don't feel so bad when your belly's full.
